I bought an emerald green Xantia last month and i didn't realise how many small blemishes were on it like you saidtim leech wrote:Lol those pictures are very forgiving, ive had the dents taken out of it, fitted a correct rear exhaust box, clear repeaters, full body mop and interior valet and touched up alot of chips and marks, unfortunatly emerald green isnt forgiving and need to be polished to stop it looking shabby.
Still its got a full history, MOT and TAX and cost £150 so I cant moan!
I work in the trade and we have a "dent man" who does them, a good job he does too, some of them you cant "get at" but it looks loads better!XantiaDaveEire wrote:I bought an emerald green Xantia last month and i didn't realise how many small blemishes were on it like you saidtim leech wrote:Lol those pictures are very forgiving, ive had the dents taken out of it, fitted a correct rear exhaust box, clear repeaters, full body mop and interior valet and touched up alot of chips and marks, unfortunatly emerald green isnt forgiving and need to be polished to stop it looking shabby.

Did you have the dents profesionally repaired or did you do them yourself?
For a £150looks like a bargain any day of the week !

Somerset is the least corrosive place in the UK for cars, as long as it didn't live on the coast...
I like MK1 BXsSo, does the DTR bit stand for Diesel Terribly Ratty?
